25 and extension 30 are provided with openings adapted to receive thebow or shackle 32 of a padlock 34. It will 'be evident that the padlockprevents opening of the slide fastener, because the corner part 36 ofthe receptacle isdisposed between the slider and the padlock.

If desired, the comer part 36 may be reinforced, wire extending aroundthe end of the receptacle, that is, along the edge 38, the corner 36,and the edge til, this stifiening wire being sewed into the structure ofthe bag in accordance with known or conventional practice.

(The construction of of attaching the slider vary. In Figs. 1 and 2, theslider comprises a top wall 42 and a bottom wall at which are identical,46 and 48, and provided the slider and the method 52. However, the pull56 is preferably secured in the horizontal or extended position shown,as by means of spot-welding, indicated at 58 in Fig. 2. The spot-weldinginsures that the extension 56 will pass through the window 28 (Fig. 8)when the slider is moved toclosed position.

In the form of the invention shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the top wall toisprovided with a lug 62 pivotally carrying a pull 64. The bottom wall66 is a conventional bottom wall, and has no lug. A slider extension 68is secured to the bottom wall 66 solely by means of spot-welding,indicated at 70.

In the form of the invention shown' in Figs. 5, 6 and '7, the top wallprovided with 2. lug It pivotally carrying a pull 16. The bottom wall 18is a special wall'having an integrally formed extension 80. This exten-'sion is downwardly bent or ofiset, as is indicated at 82, this beingdesirable in order to bring the same through the window 28 (Fig. 8)while leaving an adequate clearance for the material at the corner 36 ofthe receptacle.

Sliders are made in various ways. That shown in the present disclosureis generally like the slider disclosed in Ulrich Patent No. 2,078,745,issued April 27, 1937, the'walls of the slider each having an integrallyformed indented or depressed neck portion 86 and 85 (Fig. 1), thesebeing welded together in order to hold the halves of the slider inassembled relation. Equivalent To facilitate forming or indenting theneck portion 9%, the opening 96 in the extension is extension theretomay 72 is conventional, it being.

the welding ma- .and used to move the slider to open position.

It is believed that the construction and operation, as well as theadvantages of my present invention, will be apparent from the foregoingdetailed description thereof. It will also be apparent that while I haveshown and described my invention in several preferred forms, changes andmodifications may be made in the structures disclosed, without departingfrom the spirit of the invention as sought to be defined in thefollowing claims.

I claim:

1. A padlockable slider for a slide fastener, said slider comprising topand bottom walls connected by a neck portion, a pull on the top wall,and a slider extension projecting from the neck end of the slider at thebottom wall, said pull and said extension having openings adapted toreceive the shackle'of a padlock.

2. A padlockable slider for a said slider comprising flanged top wallsconnected by a neck portion,

slide fastener, and bottom alug on the top wall, a pull pivotallycarried by the lug, and a slider extension projecting from the neck endof the slider at the bottom wall, said pull and said extension havingaligned openings adapted to receive the shackle of a padlock.

3. A slider as defined in claim 1, in which the extension comprises athe bottom wall of the slider and projecting from the neck end of theslider, said strip of metal being disposed in a plane approximatelyparallel to the plane of the slider wall.

4. A slider as defined in claim 2, in which the bottom wall of theslider is similar to the top wall and is similarly provided with a 1115and a pull, the bottom pull being welded to the bottom wall when in aposition projecting from the neck end of the slider, whereby both thetop pull and the welded bottom pull are disposed in approximatelyparallel planes when receiving the shackle of the padlock.

5. A slider as defined in claim 1, in I extension is formed integrallywith the bottom wall of the slider, and is'disposed in a planeapproximately parallel to the plane of the slider wall.

6. A slider as defined in claim 1, in which the extension is formedintegrally with the bottom wall of the slider, the opening in saidextension being a slot which extends from a point near the end of theextension to the neck of the slider.

7. A slider as defined in claim 1, in which the extension is offsetdownwardly from the slider, and is disposed in a plane approximatelyparallel to the plane of the slider wall.
